Never seen more than about 10 seconds of Frasier, so I can't comment.

Father ted is brilliant. Frasier is brilliant. Mrs Browns boys is garbage. It's always sunny in Philadelphia however is in a league of its own hands down the best sitcom ever made.

Always found Fr. Ted rather broad and obvious, bit of a one-joke series really.

Underrated would have to be the superbly-written 'Fall and Rise Of Reginald Perrin'. See job interview scene;

On this day, on 25 November 1963, JFK was buried. RTÉ carried the funeral on satellite, which was a first, and it narrated by Michael O'Hehir, familiar to GAA fans, as he had happened to be in the US. 24 Irish Army cadets formed a guard of honour at the funeral at the request of Jacqueline Kennedy.

On this date 26 years ago,  the Lansdowne Road riot by  English racists



probably the only time I was empowered by the sight of an Gardai getting stuck in at a 'protest'.

There was an exiled Armagh man who was living in London at the time and had gotten tickets there stuck in amongst that.
